with mournful cries
crouched in the destruction
of our green world, our blue planet,
our home

Our home
now is threatened—
developers decisions.
They bought the mountaintop. Wasn’t that
enough?.
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Enough
isn't the same
to a businessman in
New York and a hungry child in
Darfur

Darfur
is the blood that
runs through your and my veins
when it ought to be spilling out
with theirs
with theirs
I will take mine
and we all have enough
or too much really, but who can
say no

say so
I need to hear
I need to feel your voice
your breath against my neck, your voice
tempts me

I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

of sweet chocolate goodies...
just a pinch....just a taste....just a
dozen

dozen,
a good number,
with some fine Pinot Noir,
maybe melted on strawberries,
dark dove
dark dove
sleeping, waiting,
perhaps dreaming also
of a daybreak that draws upon
mourning

mourning
in a puddle
of decayed emotions
spirit kept alive only through
sheer will

mourning
passing mornings—
missing innocent ones,
prey to those who fear neither God
nor man…
sheer will
is all that stops
me from taking up arms
myself, and striking back, solving
nothing...

nothing
dissolves into
everything, imagines
it could be anything...at least
something

something,
perhaps perfume,
turned my head, it was her;
each heartbeat shook me, my lips burned...
I woke
I woke
but not quickly
it's good to roll and stretch
to tell your blood, let's get going
there's life

there's life
when feeling cuts,
and words slip into wounds
heavy and sensual, love revels
in hurt
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
